Getting Started
[Windows]
The Roland COLORCHOICE is automatically launched each time you start your computer. However, you will
need to view the Print Monitor in order to work with it. To view the Print Monitor, double click on the Roland
COLORCHOICE Software icon located in the lower right corner of your computer’s monitor.
[Macintosh]
The Roland COLORCHOICE is automatically launched each time you print or you may double-click Roland
COLORCHOICE Software icon. The Roland COLORCHOICE is will open the print monitor window.
Using the RIP Software
You can control every facet of job management from the Print Monitor. The Print Monitor is essentially a
queue, listing all the files that are waiting to be printed.
Jobs appear in the queue in the order that they were received. For each job, the following information is
displayed:
ƒ
ƒ
Job Name—the name of the file, including any extensions.
Status—the current status of the job, either Holding, RIPing (the process of converting images to a
series of minute dots so that they can be printed), or Printing.
ƒ
ƒ
ƒ
Copies—the number of copies to be printed.
Media—the media on which the job will be printed.
File Type—the file type of the selected job.
To quit the RIP Software program when you are in Windows, right click on the icon, and then select Quit from
the menu that appears. Once you quit in this fashion, you must either restart your computer or use the ‘Start’
menu in order to restart the RIP Software.
Printing a Test File
To insure that your software is properly installed and that a connection to the printer is established, it is
recommended that you create a test print. When you do this a small test file is sent to the Print Monitor and
then printed. Once you’ve successfully printed a test file, be sure to read the rest of this document to learn
about other features

Menus
You may access a number of RIP Software’s functions using the menus at the top of the main window.
File Menu
The File menu allows the user to add a job, save a job as a different format, send, pause, or abort a job or
stop the process by exiting. The following chart defines each of these options:
Add Job
The Add a Job command allows you to add a job directly to the Print Monitor.
To Add a Job
1. From the File menu select Add Job. The Add Job dialog box displays.
2. From the Add Job dialog select the path of the job you would like to add.
3. Click Open. The job is added to the printer queue.
Job Properties
Job Properties can be accessed from within Roland COLORCHOICE and are settings associated with a
particular job. The Job Properties come from either the Printing Properties set in client, or the Setup
Properties set in RIP Software Server. To change the Job Properties, select Job Properties from the File
menu. Within Job Properties you may preview the job by selecting page preview, layout preview or no preview
(Macintosh only). Page preview displays the image of the job. Layout preview displays the job relative to the
output media. (See the Job Properties General Tab section for additional details).
Save As
The Save As command allows you to save an image into different file formats. Once a job has been printed,
you may want to save the RIPed file so that you can reprint it without having to RIP the file again. Saving a file
as Native format, with a .PRT extension, allows you to save RIPed files for reprinting.
To Save a Job into a Different Format
1. Click on the job you would like to save into a different format.
2. From the File Menu select Save As.
3. Select the destination folder and the file name.
4. Click Save.
Send
Once jobs are in the Print Monitor, you can select individual jobs or groups of jobs for printing. When selecting
a group of jobs, they are printed in the order that they appear in the queue.
To Send a Job to Print
1. Click on the job or jobs you would like to print.
2. From the File Menu select Send to RIP.
Pause
When printing a job, the software begins RIPing the file. RIP, which stands for Raster Image Processor, is a
process that converts the selected file into a series of dots that are used to reproduce the file on the selected
media. RIPing involves a complex algorithmic process that requires a significant portion of your computer’s
processing capacity. Larger files, in terms of MB, take longer to RIP than smaller files. The nature of the RIP
process makes it impossible to pause and restart. For this reason, the Pause button is dimmed to prevent you
15

from pausing a job during the RIP process. However, once a job is done RIPing and has begun printing, you
can use the Pause button to stop and restart the printing process as often as desired.
To Pause a Print Job
1. Click on the job you would like to pause.
2. From the File Menu select Pause.
To Resume a printing Job
ƒ
Double-click on the paused print job.
Abort
Although a job cannot be paused during the RIP process, the job can be aborted. After aborting a job, all
RIP’ed information is lost and the process must start again.
To Abort a Print Job
1. Click on the job you would like to abort.
2. From the File Menu select Abort.
Exit/Quit
The Exit/Quit command ends the program and closes the Print Monitor window.
To Exit Program
ƒ
From the File menu select Exit/Quit.
Edit Menu
The Edit menu allows the user to select all files, delete a file, and change preferences.
Select All
The Select All command selects all files in the print queue.
Delete
The Delete command allows deletion of specifically selected files.
Preferences
Preferences allows access to default settings, including what to do with files after printing and to specify the
units of measurement. These preferences, in conjunction with Setup Properties, form the default print settings.
Default print settings are applied to any job(s) that is added using the Add Job command. Settings in
Preferences are overridden when printing from a design application (ex. Adobe Illustrator).
CPSI Scratch Directory [Macintosh Only]
This is the location used to store information during processing. If you have multiple drives, you can use
the Browse button to relocate the Scratch Directory to the drive with the most storage space. Doing this
will allow you to process larger files without generating memory errors.
After Out put
Tells the Print Monitor what to do with the job after it has finished printing, either Hold or Delete.
Units
Select the desired unit of measurement.
Simultaneous Ripping and Printing [Windows Only]
The system prints while ripping.

To Delete a Job
1. Select the job or jobs that you want to delete by selecting them in the Print Monitor’s queue.
2. From the File menu choose Delete.
Pausing and Resuming Printing
When printing a job, the software begins RIPing the file. RIP, which stands for Raster Image Processor, is a
process that converts the selected file into a series of dots that are used to reproduce the file on the selected
media. RIPing involves a complex algorithmic process that requires a significant portion of your computer’s
processing capacity. Larger files, in terms of MB, take longer to RIP than smaller files. The nature of the RIP
process makes it impossible to pause and restart. For this reason, the Pause button is dimmed to prevent you
from pausing a job during the RIP process. However, once a job is done RIPing and has begun printing, you
can use the Pause button to stop and restart the printing process as often as desired.
To Pause or Resume a Job
1. Select the job to pause by selecting it in RIP Software’s Print Monitor window.
2. Click the Pause icon.
3. Click the Pause button again (Resume) to resume the printing process.
Aborting a Print Job
Although a job cannot be paused during the RIP process, the job can be aborted. After aborting a job, all
RIP’ed information is lost and the process must start again.
To Abort a Print Job
1. Select the job to abort by selecting it in RIP Software’s Print Monitor window.
2. From the File menu choose Abort or click the icon Abort Job
Printing Directly from an Application

Printable Area
The printable area displays the area that is available for printing. The values in this area may be different from
the values in the media size. The application calculates the printable area by applying margins to the media
size.
Margin
Displays the margins from the edges of the media. Margins are the areas on the edges of the media where
nothing will print.
Ports [only Windows]
Selects the port to which the printer is connected. Only change the Port selection if you physically change the
port to which your printer is connected. Ports may be found on the General within Windows.
Parallel Ports (LPT ports)
Parallel Ports are probably the most common method of sending data to output devices. Devices
connected to a Parallel Port are connected directly to the RIP Software Server computer with a Parallel
cable. There are several print modes available to Parallel Ports. The most common Parallel Port modes
are Standard and ECP. We recommend to use ECP port. The mode defines the method of
communication between your computer and your output device. Typically, you set the communication
mode for the Parallel Port in your computer BIOS. To find out how to access your computer's BIOS and
change the port setting, consult the documentation that came with your computer.
Note: To enable ECP mode you may need to turn off the “Use standard LPT driver checkbox in the
communications tab of the Setup Properties inside of application.
File Ports
The File Port behaves like a save to file option. Instead of sending data out through a port on your
computer, the File Port option will write the data to a file and save it to a specified location. Use the File
Port to send data to printers that use their own Hot Folders, to transfer files to another computer, or to
troubleshoot a specific output device.
TCP/IP
User must enter an IP address, which maybe obtained from your printer. This option is available if your
printer Supports network.
USB-PIA Ports
USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports will automatically appear in the list of ports in RIP Software Server if
you have properly set up and configured your computer to use USB devices. USB comes standard for
most newer computers and output devices, and has become popular for its fast data transfer rate, and
its easy connectivity. To use USB with RIP Software Server, you must select a Generic/Text only
PostScript Printer Driver in RIP Software Server Preferences.
Note: USB Ports are only supported on Windows 98 and Windows 2000.

Perform Color Correction
Checking this setting activates the color correction settings. If this setting is not checked, incoming jobs are
assumed to already have color correction.
ICC input profile
Input profiles are used to convert the image into a neutral color space. Once the image is in a neutral color
space, then the output profile is used to convert the image into the color space of the output device. To add an
ICC input profile from another source, click the Add button. Three types of ICC input profiles can be specified:
CMYK ICC input profile
The CMYK input profile defines all elements of a job that are in CMYK color mode. If your job is in the
RGB color mode, then you should leave the CMYK input profile set to the Generic setting. If your file
contains images in both the CMYK and the RGB mode, then the CMYK input profile will be applied to the
CMYK images and the RGB input profile will be applied to the RGB images. If your image is in the
CMYK color mode, then your file was previously separated for output to a specific output device.
Whenever possible, use the profile for the device to which the elements were separated, as the CMYK
25

input profile. If you do not have the profile, try similar profiles or profiles for common ink sets (such as
CMYK SWOP, or High End SWOP). If you are trying to match Pantone colors, it may also be appropriate
to select High End SWOP as your CMYK input profile, because Pantone Process CMYK values were
designed for output to the SWOP ink set.
RGB ICC input profile
The RGB ICC input profile defines the RGB source for all of your RGB files. An RGB input profile can be
for either a monitor or a scanner. If you scanned your file directly to a folder, it is best to select your
scanner calibration as the RGB input profile. If you have done any on- screen color correction, you
should select your monitor as the RGB input profile. If you do not have a monitor profile, it is generally
safe to select the Generic ICC input profile. The Generic profile assumes that you have a Trinitron
monitor with a temperature of D65 and a gamma of 1.8. Selecting the correct RGB source will insure that
the RGB data you see on-screen will be matched to the output printer.
Gray ICC input profile
The Gray ICC input profile defines the Grayscale source for all of your grayscale files. This may refer to
either a grayscale scanner or a grayscale monitor.
ICC output profile
ICC output profile- Output profiles are created for the combination of ink and media, and resolution and dither
type of your output device. When selecting a profile, be sure to select the profile that matches these criteria.
For output devices that print at multiple resolutions, RIP Software provides profiles for each of those
resolutions. Choosing a profile with the wrong resolution will severely effect the output. Profiles with different
dither types will not greatly effect your output; however, they may cause slight shifts in color. To add an ICC
output profile from another source, click the Add button. Click the Info button for information pertaining to the
ICC output profile that has been chosen under Profile.
Bitmap/Vector Rending Intent
Rendering intent- before a file can be RIPed, its ICC profile must be selected so that the RGB color
space of the file can be mapped or translated into to CMYK colorspace. How the colorspace gets
mapped is determined by the color rendering intent that you select. The rendering intent selected in the
Bitmap rendering field will be applied to bitmap images in your job file. The rendering intent selected in
the Vector rendering intent field will be applied to vector images in your file. Choose from one of the
following rendering intents:
Perceptual
This intent is best for photographic images. Colors outside of the output device's gamut are either
clipped or compressed to fit the output device’s color space
Relative Colorimetric
This intent is best for images, such as logos, where the original image needs to match the output.
Colors that fall outside of the output device's gamut are clipped. This method may reduce the total
number of colors available. The white point of Relative Colorimetric is always zero.
Saturation
This intent is best for graphic images, such as vector art, where vivid colors are more important
than true color matching. Colors outside of the output device's gamut are mapped to colors at the
extent of the gamut's saturation. Color's that fall within the gamut of the output device are shifted
closer to the gamut's saturation extent. This rendering intent may also be used to boost colors
within a photographic image.
Absolute Colorimetric
This intent is similar to Relative Colorimetric, but has a different white point value. Absolute
Colorimetric represents colors relative to a fixed white point value of D50. For example, the white
of paper A will be simulated when printing on paper B. This intent is best for color proofing.
Spot Color
26
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
This intent is was created to supplement the Saturation intent. Spot Color maps colors similarly to
the Saturation rendering intent, but Spot Color rendering intent produces the greatest saturation
possible, and should not be used with photographic images.
Color Mode
If your output device supports multiple color modes, then you can select one of the supported color modes
here.

quality or unfinished cut lines. The default value is 250 (0.25mm).
Speed
Set the cutting speed. Usually setting a lower speed will result in longer cut times, but will produce higher
quality results.
Force
Set the blade pressure for cutting. When the values set here are too small, the blade will not have
enough pressure to cut the sheet. Similarly, if the pressure is too high, not only it will not work properly,
but it can cut through the back of the media and may cause damage to printer. Be careful to set the
correct value for the thickness and the hardness of the material you are using.
Custom End tab
Use this tab to specify that the media be cut after the job finishes. Selecting Cut Media and also
checking the Cut Media checkbox will send the appropriate cutting instruction to the cutter. Selecting

2. Highlight a density file and then click Edit, or click New to create a new density file.
The Density Adjustment dialog box appears.
3. Select a channel to edit from the Channel list.
4. Edit the curve as described below.
Adjusting the Density curve
The density curve translates input dot values read from the file into output dot values that appear on the
printed media. The Density Adjustment dialog lets you make precise adjustments to the density curve by
adjusting color channels individually, or by simultaneously adjusting all channels. You can save settings you
create as .den files. In this way, you can build a library of density files for future use.
The horizontal axis (left to right) and vertical axis (bottom to top) represent density expressed as a percentage
of coverage. If you do not adjust the density curve, or if you click the Reset button, the density curve is not a
curve at all, but a straight line. This means that no adjustments have been made- a 50% density magenta
value read from the file will print at 50% coverage.
To edit each color channel individually
Click on the Channel list to select a color, and then edit the curve by clicking and dragging points on the curve
to a new value. To delete a point, drag the point off of the top or bottom of the chart.
To simultaneously edit all channels
You can adjust all channels at the same time by modifying the curve in the same way, and then clicking Apply
to All. Keep in mind that any modifications made to all channels will override changes you may have made to
the individual channels. Click Reset to return the density curve to its default setting.

Contour Cutting (ColorCAMM/CAMM JET) and Spot Color
Printing (ColorCAMM) [Windows]
Using a ColorCAMM PRO or CAMM JET you can print objects and then cut a contour line around them. Using
ColorCAMM PRO you can also print using a Spot Color ribbon. To use such features, you have to install and
use special color libraries in your design application such as Illustrator or QuarkXpress. No special settings or
changes are needed on Roland COLORCHOICE.
You can create objects using the following Spot colors. All these objects will be printed using a special ribbon.
(only ColorCAMM)

On your Roland COLORCHOICE Installation CD, you will find Color Library files for each application. If you
are using PhotoShop, you will not be able to print in Spot Colors and contour cut.
Adobe Illustrator 8 [Windows]
When using Adobe Illustrator with a hybrid printer cutter such as the ColorCAMM and CAMM JET, you can
print objects and then cut a contour line around them. Follow these steps to send Illustrator files with contour
cut lines:
1. Copy a file 'ColorCAMM PRO.ai' or 'CAMM JET.ai', located in the ‘SpotColor Library\ColorCAMM PRO
or CAMM JET\Illustrator’ folder of the Installation CD to the Swatch Libraries folder of Illustrator.
2. Start Illustrator.
3. Open the file that you want to contour cut, if it’s not already open.
4. Select 'ColorCAMM PRO' or 'CAMM JET' in the Windows\Swatch Libraries menu to open the library.
“CutContour” appears in the library.
5. Select “CutContour” as the color for the paths that you would like to cut. You can change the color of the
contour line by changing the Swatch Options. Remember, the color mode should always be Spot Color.
6. Print the file as you normally would.
7. If the swatch library is unavailable for some reason, you can create a new swatch. Be sure to begin the
swatch name with “CutContour” and set the color mode as Spot Color. We recommend that you specify
a color other than the default color to better see the contour line on your display, and that it also be a
dashed line. When defined like this, the line will always be treated as a contour, regardless of its line
width.

Adobe Illustrator 8 [Macintosh]
1. Copy the file 'ColorCAMM PRO' or 'CAMM JET', located in the ‘SpotColorLibray:ColorCAMM PRO or

2. Start Illustrator.
3. Open the file that you want to contour cut, if it’s not already open.
4. Select ‘ColorCAMM PRO’ or ‘CAMM JET’ in the Window>Swatch Libraries menu to open the library. All
spot and “CutContour” colors appear in the library.
5. To make a cutting line, select “CutContour” as the color for the paths that you would like to cut. To make
an object that will be printed using a spot color, just fill it using a Spot Color from the library. You can
change the color of the contour line or spot color by changing the Swatch Options. Remember, the color
mode should always be Spot Color.
6. Print the file as you normally would.
If the ‘ColorCAMM PRO’ or ‘CAMM JET’ swatch library is unabailable for some reason, you can create a new
swatch. Be sure that the color names are the same as described above and set the color mode as Spot color.
We recommend that you specify a color other than the default color to better see the contour line or spot
colors on your display, and that it also be a dashed line (for contour cut). When defined like this, the line will
always be treated as a contour, regardless of its line width. For spot colors we recommend to select a color
that can be easily identified.
